Agarbatti Making

Introduction:
Natural agarbatti is a traditional incense stick prepared using organic materials such as cow dung, sawdust, and camphor. Since it is made without chemical substances, it is harmless to health and does not cause environmental pollution.

Process:
Cow dung is first mixed with sawdust to obtain a soft and uniform mixture. Camphor is added to this mixture to provide a pleasant smell. The prepared mixture is kneaded properly and then shaped into thin sticks by hand. These sticks are kept in shade for drying until they become hard.

Uses:
Natural agarbatti is mainly used during prayers and meditation. It gives a gentle fragrance, helps in keeping insects away, and maintains freshness in the surrounding environment in a natural way.

Biogas and Biofuel Practices

Students learned about renewable energy cycles involves specific processes:

1. Production: Converting organic kitchen and garden waste into biogas.
2. Processing: Preparation of biofuel or biopellets from residue.
3. Impact: Significant reduction in pollution and reliance on non-renewable fuels.
